The only ones I know of are the Goodridge hoses. I have a pair of front ones on my 1850 which I got from one of my TSSC friends. Try the usual suspects for them.

Quite like the look of the new :old: style goodridge that Rimmers sell now. May only need a rear pipe though as I may be fitting some Ford calipers on the front :)

Are you doing the famous "trackerjack" conversion? If so, you just need an adaptor if you're not having the brake hoses specially made.

Yes most likely. I'll get a hose made to suit I think so its flexy right to the metal brake pipe.
